Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I loved Teddy very much. He is one of the reasons that I became a cop when others didn’t want me to. I would visit him frequently ay Key Biscayne on mids and he was my Sgt at Hialeah when I was a Reserve.

I wrote this for my Dad when I was in high school. I miss him every day.

Officer Dad

Each night my Dad dresses in blue to fight crime and God knows who.

I think to myself as he walks out the door, will I see him tomorrow morn?

I go on with the rest of the night , but inside I have to fight, the chance I might not get to say...I love you Dad, the very next day.

Sgt Zorsky would pull me over a lot when I was a teenager with a mustang. Eventually he got tired of writing me tickets and became a friend and would give me advice and tell me to go home. For some reason I never forgot this cop and his "go home Tony"

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.

Daddy,

It has been six years now, and you have no idea how much we miss you. We think of you everyday. We talk about you to your grandkids constantly, in return they speak like they have known you their entire lives. For example someone will speak of a person with big calves and they will say like Grandpa. Our newest member is Jordan, and believe it or not she has this big beautiful smile just like you. Mom , Karen and I hurt everyday missing you. Please continue keeping an eye on our family
I Love You

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Hey Ted:
Sorry it has taken so long for me to leave a note, your death stunned me, I remember when you I was on the desk after my accident, you worked the midnight shift with me and you always came in early for your CAR not just any car but yours, you were a stickler about perfection even teaching my kids tai kwon Do as there sensei, Ted your girls are definitely making you proud as I understand from my wife Pam is about to give birth, and Karen is a Sgt. here. Both of them good Officers, but they learned from the BEST, say Hello to Capt. Poirier and all our other fellow officers who are there patrolling heaven. Watch over us all.
